Running Never Looked So Snuggly
Running Never Looked So Snuggly
Grab your comfiest and fastest sweater and join us for the second edition of the Sweater Weather 10K or 5K trail run on October 3, 2026. We have pushed up our race date up by two weeks to help ensure we have a snow free course and that the vibes are pure autumn bliss.
Race registration will open on May 1, 2026 and early bird pricing will be available until June 1, 2026 - after that all prices will increase by $10. Don't wait to register - the 2025 event sold out quickly!
We believe running is best served with a side of pie, a heap of laughter, and a whole lot of knitwear. This isn’t just a race - it’s a community gathering stitched together by the joy of crisp autumn air, crunchy trails, and the undeniable urge to show off your best (or worst) fall sweater.
Our course, winding through the pine forests of the Canmore Nordic Centre, is designed for anyone looking to take on a small dose of adventure (and a bigger dose of elevation) - whether you’re here to chase a personal best, take in the scenery at a stroll, or simply chase the last slice of pumpkin pie. We welcome all those united by their love of cozy layers, beautiful pine trails, and post-race snacks.
We actively promote a culture where every runner - regardless of pace, experience, or sweater game - feels supported and celebrated. Our double-track dirt trails make room for high-fives, group selfies, and maybe even a spontaneous leaf fight.
So pull on your favorite sweater, grab your crew, and get ready to share the stoke. At the Sweater Weather 10K & 5K, you’ll not only log some miles - you'll make memories and leave with a belly full of pie and a heart full of autumn.
We’re thrilled that JK Bakery Cafe, a beloved Canmore staple, will be serving up their delicious, homemade pie for everyone at the finish line of the Sweater Weather Run on October 18th! We are deeply grateful for JK Bakery's generous support - thanks to their partnership, race day is set to be even sweeter.
JK Bakery Cafe is more than just a bakery - it’s a gathering spot that brings the Canmore community together with wholesome, homemade products at affordable prices. Widely known for their fresh-baked breads, mouthwatering pastries, hearty soups, and famous pies, JK Bakery makes every visit memorable. Whether you stop by for a sandwich, soup, or a treat for a special occasion, JK Bakery’s commitment to quality and community shines through in every bite.
